Rust On The Springs!

Unemployment numbers are out. Before the sequester, the unemployment number was 7.7%.

Sound the alarms over there in the conservative media circus, the numbers are now at 7.6% with hiring numbers at 88,000 new jobs being added.

When Congress allowed the sequester to go through it put a major dent in hiring. Many government workers are getting either the pink slip or the furlough days. The Republicans got what they wanted, spending cuts.

They think it's the president's fault for the rest of their proposals. They wanted to cut domestic programs.

When the 2011 debacle over the debt ceiling advocated for Congress to create a bipartisan group to look into smart budgeting, the Republicans refuse to budge on tax increases. That lead to the sequester trigger.

Many members of Congress didn't think it was going to happen. The 112th Congress was the most ineffective legislative body in 80 years. The Republicans have the House of Representatives and the Democrats have the Senate.

Republicans passed a budget. The budget sponsored by Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin, former Republican vice presidential nominee) was controversial. The proposals were to create massive cuts to safety nets while preserving defense spending.

The Democrats in the House had proposals that advocated for tax increases on the wealthy. That budget didn't get a hearing.

The U.S. Senate had waited four years to pass a budget. The reasons why exist only in the constant filibustering of proposals being sponsored by the Democrats and the president. Republicans didn't want to support tax increases and the closing of tax havens.

President Barack Obama trounce the perennial loser Mitt Romney by labeling Republicans as out of touch and too extreme. That paid off.

Record low job approvals for all members of the leadership. The Republican leaders and Democratic leaders are still stubborn as ever. Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio, House Speaker), Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada, Majority Leader), Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky, Minority Leader), Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-California, Minority Leader).

The president kept harping to the American public that the sequester will hurt the economy and stifle the government. The message was lost in the junk food media. They were talking about the president's vacations with Tiger Woods and First Lady Michelle Obama taking her daughters on vacation.

The president, members of his cabinet and some Democratic senators volunteered to take a paycut to their salaries. Even that move won't satisfy the junk food media. I hope the American people vote the Republicans out of the Congress.

The Tea Party flopped and the American people are suffering because of these radically conservative extremists.

Even the president's liberal allies are upset that the demands of cutting social security and domestic programs such as the Pell grant are on President Barack Obama's agenda.

The Associated Press reports that U.S. employers added just 88,000 jobs in March, the fewest in nine months and a sharp retreat after a period of strong hiring. The slowdown is a reminder that the job market's path back to full health will be uneven.

The Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate dipped to 7.6 percent from 7.7 percent. While that is the lowest in four years, the rate fell only because more people stopped looking for work. The government counts people as unemployed only if they are actively looking for a job.

The weakness in March may signal that some companies were worried last month about steep government spending cuts that began on March 1.

March's job gains were half the pace of the previous six months, when the economy added an average of 196,000 jobs a month. The drop raises fears that the economy could slow after a showing signs of strengthening over the winter.

"Best Looking" Attorney General Sparks Controversy!

California Attorney General Kamala Harris and President Barack Obama. The uproar over  "the best looking" attorney general is another example of the junk food media's coverage of the president. Of course, inserting that the president is a "sexist" and rumors of affairs will swirl around the internet.

Sound the alarms, the president is a sexist! Why you ask?

Because President Barack Obama made a comment about the Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris being an attractive woman, and the media circus goes bananas. Of course, in the conservative/white supremacist bubble they're word vomiting about how the "dictator" is a "sexist pig".

Soon you're hear stories about the president having an affair with Harris. Of course, Harris is married with children. Harris was part of the Obama campaign outreach for Hispanics and Asian/Pacific Islander voters.

Of course, this was Obama at a fundraiser where the microphones were off and the media was excluded.

So this is what blew up Twitter overnight.

Another newsworthy story posted on that guy who throws shit to the wall hoping it will stick!

Obama assessed the beauty of California’s attorney general Kamala Harris, calling her “the best looking attorney general,” during remarks at a fundraiser in Atherton, California.

The junk food media continues to be shunned by the president. The conservatives seriously believe the media is in the tank for the president. As of recently, the media tuned in to see Kerry Washington's show Scandal.

They're hiding in the bushes looking for the slip of the tongue by the president, First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. Whatever they say, it's certainly going to raise the conservative/white supremacist bubble.

The Washington Post reports that Obama diverged from his prepared remarks to praise the looks of the state attorney general, Kamala Harris.

“She’s brilliant and she’s dedicated, she’s tough,” he said. “She also happens to be, by far, the best looking attorney general.”

“It’s true! C’mon,” he added, to laughter from the crowd.

Obama is in California raising money for the 2014 election cycle. This event raising funds for the Democratic National Committee was a garden party at the home of Levi Strauss-heir John Goldman.

Harris is seen as a potential gubernatorial candidate, although her speech at last summer’s Democratic National Convention did not generate much buzz. SCOTUSBlog has named her as a potential Supreme Court justice, while acknowledging that electoral timing might make her an unlikely pick. The daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican-American father, she has been described as “the female Barack Obama.”

Michelle Malkin: Obama's The Party Animal And Chief!

It's funny they got the banter "unhinged" before the ticker. "That Guy Who Helped Obama Win" and the "Turd Flipper" are once again defending the indefensible and attacking the most ridiculous things. They're complaining about President Barack Obama hosting an event in which supporters Justin Timberlake, Al Green, Queen Latifah and Cyndi Lauper are the headliners.

Get some antacid, it's another edition of turd flipping with Michelle Malkin.

Got a new gripe about the president, head over to Fox News and watch "That Guy Who Helped Barack Obama Win" and the Turd Flipper go into this horrible rant about the president hosting an event at White House.

Queen Latifah, Justin Timberlake, Al Green, and Cyndi Lauper are going to be featured on a PBS program that pays tribute to Memphis soul.

Of course, that guy was whining on radio and television about the event and how the American people are locked out of the White House. Ignoring the protocols by the United States Secret Service, that guy claims that the president would rather party while the American people suffer.

The turd flipper had the nerve to call the president and Vice President Joe Biden, the "party animals in chief".

Last week, it was the Breitbart people trying to dig themselves out the hole. They were reporting on Malia and Sasha's spring break in the Bahamas. The conservative media broke tradition by going into the business of the president's children.

Nothing could satisfy the Republicans. Not even the smooth soul of Al Green. 

But since they had no respect for the president, it's expected.

Seriously, are we really worried about the president's vacations and guest at the White House?

Anyways, we're counting the days before we hear the official announcement that Rachel Maddow surpass that guy in ratings. I predict it's going to be in late 2013.

The president, some in his cabinet and a few Democratic senators volunteered to cut a portion of their pay.

Of course, that will not satisfy that guy or the turd flipper.

Also, that guy defended the Rutgers University basketball coach who yelled at his team with hateful rhetoric.

Are you getting tired of the bullhorn rhetoric?

Drudge: Obama Targeting Me!

Conservative agitator Matt Drudge thinks President Barack Obama is out to get him!

For six years, conservative agitator Matt Drudge thrown everything at Barack Obama.

His blog The Drudge Report is one shop for conservative agitating.

Matt Drudge maintains his news agitating website 24/7 with stories that target President Barack Obama.

Most of the news stories that are linked through The Drudge Report attracts some of the most extreme members of society.

No matter how the story is found, a Drudge imprint is a buzz worthy story for him. He takes pride in his work.

Yet, all the stories he's linked on the website didn't sway the election. It practically helped Barack Obama win the presidency. Now in a second term, it's full steam ahead. He is just as bitter as "That Guy Who Helped Obama Win".

Drudge is a conservative agitator who hopes all the shit he's thrown sticks to the wall.

So from now on, after this, Drudge will be known as "That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall!"

Anything off The Drudge Report is certain for a word vomit of Obama name dropping, condescending rhetoric and racial slurs.

He openly endorses stories that appeal to White supremacists, radical Christian fundamentalists, and ill-informed conservatives who all have a bone to pick against President Barack Obama. Those ill-informed conservatives are usually the birthers who refuse to believe the president's citizenship or hostile conservatives who believe the President Barack Obama is a Communist.

Some conservatives think the president is an idiot. Of course, these are the people who couldn't finish a complete sentence. Conservatives can thank Drudge when he finds pictures of President Barack Obama and use them in negative light.



Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News are primary threats to the president's agenda. For everything that the president proposes, the conservative agitating media trying to stop it.

Matt Drudge is a race-baiter and is a professional bigot.

He makes his millions off profit rage. There's nothing wrong with it. He's entitled to make his money.

But how far could this go?

Will Drudge, Limbaugh and Fox News inspire another domestic terrorist?

Will they admit they're the reasons for unrest among the races?

The hosts of Fox News' The Five thought it was a good time to ask if independent owner Matt Drudge is on the White House’s “enemies list.”

The Politico reports that White House Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer criticized what he sees as the media’s “Pavlovian response” to controversial links posted on conservative news aggregator The Drudge Report. Pfeiffer also argued that the site actively “hurts” the White House’s efforts to convey their message “on a daily basis.”

Pfeiffer stressed that the stories that Drudge puts out not only “damage” the White House’s message, but also that he believes the site’s reporters try to spin the stories into something bigger. “The example being that, you know, that anyone saying anything can get caught up in the spin cycle in a way that is very damaging… you know, it hurts what we’re trying to do on a daily basis but is also very damaging to that individual person,” Pfeiffer said.

Roger Ebert Passes Away!

Two cultural icons Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. They hosted At The Movies, a syndicated program that talks about the latest movies. They were best known for the trademark "thumbs up, thumbs down" ratings. Gene had died in 1999. The news broke today that Roger had died. Both died of cancer.

We'll always remember Roger Ebert as the guy who gave thumbs up to most of America's movies. He along with Gene Siskel were At The Movie, a syndicated series in which two movie critics review the movies.

Today, it's reported that the long time Chicago Sun Times film and music critic had died of cancer at age 70.

He leaves behind a legacy of movie reviews and witty humor.

Survived by his wife Chaz Hammelsmith, Roger Ebert lived through his cancer that took away his voice. But with his voice gone, he's magic was in the writing. He wrote screenplays and

Gene Siskel was his rival over at Chicago Tribune. They used to debate the quality of movies by using their trademark "thumbs up and thumbs down" ratings. They ended up becoming cultural icons in the film and music industry.

Roger Ebert and his wife Chaz.

Gene Siskel died of caner in 1999, leaving the America media shocked and sadden by his loss. Roger for the most part, kept his friend close to his side. He vowed to carry forth Gene's legacy by continuing on the show with Richard Roeper. Although his name remained in the title through 2008, he did not appear on the show after mid-2006, when he suffered post-surgical complications related to thyroid cancer that left him unable to speak. Ebert's final series, Ebert Presents: At the Movies, premiered on January 21, 2011, with Ebert contributing a review voiced by someone else in a brief segment called "Roger's Office."

Ebert announced that he would be taking a "leave of presence" from his duties because the hip fracture he suffered a few months earlier was determined to be cancer and he would be receiving radiation treatment; he intended to continue reviewing, but "only the movies I want to review", which he stated was "what I've always fantasized about doing".

He died two days later. The closing sentence on his final blog post, two days before his death, said, "So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me. I'll see you at the movies.

President Barack Obama, through the White House Press Office, released the following statement:

"Michelle and I are saddened to hear about the passing of Roger Ebert. For a generation of Americans - and especially Chicagoans - Roger was the movies. When he didn't like a film, he was honest; when he did, he was effusive - capturing the unique power of the movies to take us somewhere magical. Even amidst his own battles with cancer, Roger was as productive as he was resilient - continuing to share his passion and perspective with the world. The movies won't be the same without Roger, and our thoughts and prayers are with Chaz and the rest of the Ebert family."

Deadbeat Dads

Mick Jagger fathered many children from different women. 
No one in the media makes a big deal out of his affairs.

Re blogged from Brotha Wolf's Blog.  Ah!  The hypocrisy of white media and society regarding Black fathers.

Deadbeat Dads


by Lavern Merriweather

What do Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo, Demi Moore, Tom Cruise, Stephen King, and Andre Agassi all have in common? Well, besides being rich, white and famous, they all also grew up without a father in their lives. Yet, according to the white male media elite, growing up fatherless or in a single parent home seems to be a problem that exists solely in the black community.

Here's my opinion on this issue:

I’m aching to respond to the common white male and female hypocrisy and double standards toward Black men and their families. They always want to point out the flaws of Black men while ignoring the fathering of out of wedlock children by non black men. Examples, Kevin Federline. Mr. Federline had two Black kids by Shar Jackson before marrying Britney Spears. Mick Jagger is another white man who fathered many children by different fathers. He publicly denied that he was the father of Marsha Hunt’s daughter, Karis, for many years. Meanwhile, racist Donald Trump had multiple wives and children from many women and no one bats an eye. In fact, his white male privilege shield him from criticism.
My point is that non black men have out of wedlock children and deadbeats. It’s unfair and racist to paint Black men as the “baby daddies.”, forgetting that for centuries, white men have been the original deadbeat daddies. Look at American history: Strom Thurmond and Thomas Jefferson.

Death Of The King! [NSFW]

45 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on his way to lunch and protest march was gunned down by an assassin. The death of King brought to the nation to the grips of racial unrest.

King was the prominent leader of the African-American civil rights movement and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who became known for his advancement of civil rights by using civil disobedience. He was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968, at the age of 39. King was rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:05PM that evening.

James Earl Ray, a fugitive from the Missouri State Penitentiary, was arrested in London at Heathrow Airport, extradited to the United States, and charged with the crime. On March 10, 1969, Ray entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to 99 years in the Tennessee state penitentiary. Ray later made many attempts to withdraw his guilty plea and be tried by a jury, but was unsuccessful; he died in prison on April 23, 1998, at the age of 70.

King was booked in room 306 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, owned by businessman Walter Bailey (and named after his wife). King's close friend and colleague Reverend Ralph David Abernathy, who was King's roommate in the motel room the day of the assassination, told the House Select Committee on Assassinations that King and his entourage stayed in room 306 at the Lorraine Motel so often that it was known as the "King-Abernathy Suite."

According to biographer Taylor Branch, King's last words were to musician Ben Branch, who was scheduled to perform that night at an event King was going to attend: "Ben, make sure you play 'Take My Hand, Precious Lord' in the meeting tonight. Play it real pretty.

At 6:01 p.m. on Thursday, April 4, 1968, while he was standing on the motel's second floor balcony, King was struck by a single .30 bullet fired from a Remington 760 Gamemaster.

The bullet entered through his right cheek, breaking his jaw, neck and several vertebrae as it travelled down his spinal cord, severing the jugular vein and major arteries in the process before lodging in his shoulder. By the force of the blast, King's necktie was ripped completely off his shirt. He fell violently backwards onto the balcony unconscious. Shortly after the shot was fired, witnesses saw James Earl Ray fleeing from a rooming house across the street from the Lorraine Motel where he was renting a room.

A package was dumped close to the site that included a rifle and binoculars with Ray's fingerprints on them. The rifle had been purchased by Ray under an alias six days before. A worldwide manhunt was triggered that culminated in the arrest of Ray at London Heathrow Airport two months later.

Abernathy heard the shot from inside the motel room and ran to the balcony to find King on the floor. King was bleeding profusely from the wound in his cheek. His SCLC colleague Andrew Young believed he was dead, though King still had a pulse.

The pictures are disturbing!

In some of these pictures will be Coretta Scott King, his children, Ralph David Abernathy, Jesse Jackson and James Earl Ray.

Republicans: Obama Wants Us To Suffer!

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Republicans are scrambling over sequester cuts.

You can't have it both ways, Republicans! For one thing, you got your freaking spending cuts.

The president wants revenue increases. It's a simple tax increase on the wealthy. Republicans don't want no part of this. They figure the way to saving the economy is austerity cuts. They want to starve the government.

Compromise isn't an easy thing here in Washington, D.C. Right now Rand Paul, the controversial Republican senator from Kentucky spent a majority of his time filibustering the president's nominees and even turning down Congressman Paul Ryan's budget. He signals that he will once again filibuster the upcoming proposals by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California). She wants a stronger firearm background checks and the Republican senator along with Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) are going to work in unison to stop it along with other proposals. Immigration reform also has Republicans pouting at the mouth and probably threatening to derail it.

Paul figured the budget proposals didn't go far enough on spending cuts, so he voted against it with the Democratic majority.

Rubio figured it wasn't going to seal the borders, so he will filibuster against immigration reform.

Cruz wants to lecture lawmakers on how to read the U.S. Constitution. If you're proposing laws that restrict firearms, he's filibustering it.

Since two members of the Republican senate came in favor of gay marriage, the Republicans threaten to primary them. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Senator Mark Kirk (R-Illinois) are facing threats of primary challenges for their support.

The Congressional Republicans are upset that the White House has canceled tours.

Do you think the president want the Republicans to suffer?

I mean the blinking contest has taken a toll on the president and Congress.

The Republicans refuse revenues and the Democrats refuse austerity cuts to domestic programs.

They both equally detest shared sacrifices.

The Mountain Top!

45 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. "I've Been The To The Mountaintop" was the last speech he made while he preach calm during the Memphis sanitation strike.

Before we mark another year of the tragic killing of Dr. Martin Luther King, we listen to the speech.

King spoke on April 3, 1968, at the Mason Temple (Church of God in Christ Headquarters) in Memphis, Tennessee. On the next day, King was assassinated.

The speech primarily concerns the Memphis Sanitation Strike. King calls for unity, economic actions, boycotts, and nonviolent protest, while challenging the United States to live up to its ideals. At the end of the speech, he discusses the possibility of an untimely death.

The most notable quote:

And then I got to Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers? ... Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't really matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live - a long life; longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land. So I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

Ben Carson: White Liberals Are Racist!

Dr. Benjamin Carson claims that White and Black liberals are racist toward Black conservatives.

What would happen if those White liberals didn't help Blacks in The South during the Freedom Rides?

Would they turn a blind eye to the crime in the urban communities?

Would those White liberals talk negative about metropolitan cities such as Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Baltimore, St. Louis, San Francisco, New Orleans or Atlanta?

Would those White liberals waste their time attacking the first Black president taking vacations?

Would those White liberals attack the First Lady of the United States for her style?

Would those White liberals attack the president's daughters for taking a trip to the Bahamas?

The White liberals have an issue with President Barack Obama over issues that they've voted him in for.

They don't care about the trivial things, conservatives whine about!

Wonder why the Democratic Party always seems to win over the Black, Hispanic and Pacific Islander/Asian American vote?

They don't spent a portion of their lives complaining about others unlike our friends in the Republican Party.

The conservative/White supremacist bubble is always tone deaf to the criticism. They think it's an attempt to silence their voices. They think being boycotted and shunned is censorship!

Dr. Benjamin Carson, the neurosurgeon who rose to fame as the newest agitator to President Barack Obama is a product of Fox News and the most annoying conservative agitator.

"That Guy who Helped Obama Win" created a monster (to put it in the words of Leo Terrell).

Carson keeps opening his mouth and controversy will ensue. Last week he was saying gay marriage is equal to animals having sex. He insulted President Barack Obama at the National Prayer's Breakfast, breaking a traditional rule that politics stay out of the event. He been on Fox News more than any other conservative agitator since Sarah Palin's dismissal. The conservative media wants him to run for president.

Run another Herman Cain-like candidate in a party that's mostly White and out of touch with the Black community.

So since he believe some commentators are attacking him based on his race, let's give Dr. Carson a good reminder of why he's still around. He's the shield to White conservatives when they say extremist rhetoric.

For one thing, most White Americans have resentment towards Black people. Regardless of political affiliation.

White conservatives tend to be more reactionary towards Blacks.

How many racist websites are devoted to trashing Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and other groups?

I've never seen a White liberal make a website that devotes itself to trashing the Black community.

Obviously White conservative males tend to have issues with race, gender, sexuality, nationality, education, religion, political and economic standings. Why would they waste their time trying to pass legislation that only favors only a certain group?

Why would they pass legislation that hurts others?

On "That Guy Who Helped Obama Win" show and Mark Levin radio program, Dr. Benjamin Carson goes into a soapbox rant about liberals.

“They need to shut me up, they need to get rid of me! They’re the most racist people there are because they put you in a little category, a box. How could you dare come off the [Democrat] plantation?”

See, I want you to understand that the Republican Party is looking for some color in that White rainbow.

They're entitled to do so at their discretion. But so far, they're destined for another political defeat in 2016.

They line up candidates who constantly complain. You can't isolate a segment of the United States because they've hurt your feelings. That's stuff right there is example of why the perennial loser Mitt Romney lost!

The Guy Who Voiced Elmo Faces More Legal Woes!

For over 25 years, Kevin Clash voiced the famous Muppet character Elmo. Last year, he was axed after accusations of sexual conduct with underage boys came into the limelight.

A few more new things to add to the list. Senator Tom Carper (D-Delaware) and Senator Mark Kirk (R-Illinois) come out in favor of gay marriage. The count is growing.

So far 43 Republicans, and 7 Democrats are standing in the way of progress. Again, let the LGBT community have the right to marriage. They're not hurting anyone. 

Now onto another issue here. Kevin Clash, the guy formerly known as the voice of Elmo. He resigned from Sesame Workshop last year after accusations of him having numerous affairs with gay teenagers.

He came out as a gay Black entertainer after the first accuser went to the press about a sexual relationship with Clash during his early teens. The second accuser came forth and told his story and Clash got the ax.

He all but disappeared from the limelight. But unfortunately, his problems haven't disappeared.

The number is five. Five accusers and one major lawsuit going against him. As Elmo, Clash made millions with the voice of the world famous preschool icon. E! News is reporting that the lawsuit is on and Clash is trying to get the lawsuit dismissed.

In the complaint filed in U.S. District Court in New York and obtained by E! News, Kevin Kiadii claims that back in 2004 when he was 16-years-old, he went on a gay telephone chat line and Clash initiated a conversation with him.

According to the plaintiff, who is now 25, Clash subsequently sent a luxury car over to pick him up and brought him over to Clash's apartment where he was given alcohol and engaged in sexual conduct.

"This was Kiadii's first sexual experience with an adult male," states the suit.

Kiadii's complaint says the incident left him with severe mental, psychological and emotional trauma that is permanent—prompting him to seek unspecified damages.

However, like the other four plaintiffs who've since sued the former Sesame Street puppeteer, the New York native notes he did not become aware of the adverse psychological and emotional effects of the incident with Clash until much later—2012 to be exact.

"As a compliant victim showered with attention and affection, Kiadii could not reasonably have been expected to know that he had been injured and that Kevin Clash had caused his injuries until calendar year 2012,"  states court papers.

Herman, who represents all five accusers in the sexual abuse suits, said in a statement that what allegedly happened to Kiadii follows the "same pattern" as the other cases.

"Each of these victims alleges that Kevin Clash was a father figure who groomed them with attention before engaging them in sexual contact. By coming forward and standing up for his 16-year-old self, Kevin Kiadii has taken the first step in his healing process," said the legal eagle.

Last month, Clash filed a motion to dismiss three of the lawsuits on the grounds that the statute of limitations on the cases had passed. The 52-year-old's attorney argued that if the boys wanted to file suit, they would have needed to file within six years after turning 18. As it turns out, all of the men filed after that period had passed.

Clash's attorney, Michael Berger, tells E! News: "This lawsuit is meritless and barred by the statute of limitations. This case has been brought by the same lawyer, Jeff Herman, who brought three other similar cases in federal courts in New York, and we have moved to dismiss all three of those cases. Mr. Clash continues to deny any wrongdoing, and we intend to defend this case forcefully."
